Number Of Ingredients 11

1/2 teaspoon chipotle chile powder
Coarse salt and ground pepper
1 pork tenderloin (about 1 pound)
1/2 cup low-fat buttermilk

I made a few changes to the recipe and the salad still turned out great! I used chicken instead of pork, and I added some chopped walnuts to the salad. I also used a store-bought buttermilk dressing. I will definitely be making this salad again.
